Offshore Supply Vessel SHAMROCK PRIDE Detained in Durban

The offshore supply vessel SHAMROCK PRIDE (IMO 7625988) was detained in Durban following a Port State Control inspection conducted on 30 Jan 2026, according to a detention report issued under the Abuja MoU. The Panama-flagged vessel, with a gross tonnage of 495 and a deadweight of 668, was found to have 18 deficiencies during the inspection. The report lists zero deficiencies classified as detainable, though the vessel was nonetheless held in port pending further review by authorities. Port State Control inspections under regional memoranda of understanding such as Abuja MoU are designed to verify compliance with international safety, pollution prevention and crew welfare conventions. Vessels found with significant deficiencies can be detained until corrective action is taken and the issues are resolved to the satisfaction of inspectors. No further details on the nature of the deficiencies or the vessel's operator have been disclosed. The SHAMROCK PRIDE remains detained in Durban as of the inspection date, with its release contingent on meeting the requirements set out by port authorities.
